Baikal Teal

Probably a 1st winter male, but the possibilty of a male coming out of eclipse not yet eliminated. It is said that some Baikals in the Far East come out of eclipse late (Dec/Jan).

Baikal Teal
It appears unringed and cohorts with Eurasian Teal.

Gull-billed Tern
These two pictures illustrate what the actual difference between a "still" and a "vidoegrab" really are. The small picture (below) is the still @ 1.1 mill pixs, the larger pic is a video grab @ 640,000 pixs The difference in quality can be clearly seen. Also see the Ross's Goose below (the smaller picture is the still).
